WNBA Strategy Picks for Today

Las Vegas Aces @ Atlanta Dream
A’ja Wilson is the go-to play for the Aces tonight. After laying a dud against the Sun in the last game, this is the perfect bounce-back spot for her. The Dream don’t defend well against forwards. Liz Cambage continues to play well with the minutes she gets. She has the ability to crush if this game stays close. Dearica Hamby is another name to watch tonight. If the game gets out of hand quickly, she will be one to watch out for. On the guard front, Kelsey Plum is in a bounce-back spot tonight as well. The rest of the Aces’ guards are GPP options, especially Riquna Williams.
The Dream have their work cut out for them tonight, and they’ll most likely be playing shorthanded with Crystal Bradford out and Tiffany Hayes questionable. Courtney Williams, Odyssey Sims, and Aari McDonald will get a lot of minutes here tonight. Williams and Sims are the go-to options tonight. McDonald makes for an excellent value option given her price and the upside she brings. With Candice Dupree and Cheyenne Parker out as well, Elizabeth Williams and Monique Billings will play around 30 minutes each and make for GPP options on the slate.
5-Star Play: A’ja Wilson, Courtney Williams
4-Star Play: Odyssey Sims, Liz Cambage, Kelsey Plum
GPP Sleeper: Aari McDonald
Deep Value: Riquna Williams
Los Angeles Sparks @ Connecticut Sun
The Sparks are coming off a blowout loss to the Mystics, an embarrassing defeat, and now have to face the Sun. This is a tough matchup for them, and they’ll struggle to keep it close. That said, there are a couple of names that have DFS appeal here tonight. Chiney Ogwumike recently returned after an injury absence and is too cheap for the role she plays. Add to that the fact she is playing against her former team and you have the makings of a nice GPP value option here. On the guard side, Erica Wheeler and Brittney Sykes make for nice well-priced GPP options. Both have 35+ fpts upside and will get solid minutes tonight.
For the Sun, it starts with Jonquel Jones. Coming off a dismal performance against the Aces, JJ will look to bounce back here and makes for a phenomenal play. DeWanna Bonner has been on a tear over the last two games and will look to continue that excellent run today in what is a plus matchup. There’s not much the Sparks can do to stop her if she continues to be aggressive. Jasmine Thomas and Brionna Jones round out the other Sun players who make for nice hybrid options on the slate.
5-Star Play: Jonquel Jones, DeWanna Bonner
4-Star Play: Chiney Ogwumike, Erica Wheeler, Brionna Jones
GPP Sleeper: Brittney Sykes
Deep Value: Chiney Ogwumike
Dallas Wings @ Washington Mystics
The Wings travel to the nation’s capital to face the Mystics tonight, without Allisha Gray and Satou Sabally. The key beneficiary tonight will be Marina Mabrey. Mabrey will pick up extra minutes tonight and as we saw earlier this season ahs the ability to break the slate with her scoring. She is a key part of lineup construction tonight. Arike Ogunbowale will get the green light to shoot tonight making her a solid option in all formats on the slate. Rounding up the top options for the Wings is Isabelle Harrison. Izzy is a player with huge upside when given minutes and with the size of the Mystics, she will get minutes here tonight. If you are looking for value, Bella Alarie offers some salary savings with 20 fpts upside in GPPs.
Tina Charles remains out for the Mystics tonight, turning this into the Elena Delle Donne and Myisha Hines-Allen show. You want at least one of these players in your lineups tonight and there is nothing wrong with playing both. EDD does not need plenty of minutes to break the slate at her price, and Hines-Allen is a beast given the minutes she’ll play if the game remains close. The other mystics player you want to look at is Natasha Cloud due to her ability to stuff the stat sheet. Her price point makes her a solid option tonight.
5-Star Play: Elena Delle Donne, Myisha Hines-Allen, Marina Mabrey
4-Star Play: Arike Ogunbowale, Isabelle Harrison, Natasha Cloud
GPP Sleeper: Marina Mabrey
Deep Value: Bella Alarie
